I just wanted to say thank you. After 3 failed attempts of doing a brioche stitch with a nice salvaged edge, I came across your video, and I finally got it. You are the best
Same here, I've been thinking brioche is complicated. I started with with fisherman's rib, learnt from this channel as well. It's very simple and satisfying to knit, except for when you drop stitches haha ...
I can relate to struggles with Fisherman's Rib. I dropped stitches with my first project and did a poor job of picking up the stitches. I ended up frogging the whole thing. 😯🤷♀
Oh, I am very much looking forward to the next video because I've not yet learned how to pick up a stitch in a brioche pattern! VERY interesting to me! The ones I had to pick up look a little wonky, sadly.
Great tuto. Would you say the standard bind off can also maintain the structure of the brioche stitch, so it doesn't stretch and flatten after a while ?
well, for scarfs and that kind of stuff, I personally like it but that's probably just a personal preferences. I mean..it's not fully reversible sure...but that's okay for me.
Great tutorial. Have you tried doing this with a tubular cast on/bind off? Does it work well together? I can see using smaller needles and trying this for cuffs that lay flat and don't squish in like ribbing.
That would be great if you can do that, your video's help's me a lot in my projects. But I got stuck on the two color brioche stich and this stich is easy to do for me the way you explained in one color🎉 thank you so much for all your video's en time you put in it❤
Great tutorial Norman! I learned it as the “brk” or bark as they would sometimes say, lol. What stretchy bind off would you recommend? Thanks for another great tutorial!😊🤗
Thanks, I've done brioche stitch scarf before, but lost the pattern. This is a nice reminder how to do it. Just to be clear Norman, on the right side you slip the first stitch purl wise with yarn in back, and on the wrong side you slip the first stitch with yarn in front. Is that correct Norman? Sometimes it's hard for me to follow cause, I knit English style, and I get confused watching someone knit continental. I'm so glad you told us about your second channel.
@@nimbleneedlestwo Oh wow, thanks Norman, just looked. Didn’t know you had written instructions. This stitch looks so much nicer, neater than K1 P1 ribbing.
Another remark: In my old german knitting book "Perfekt Stricken" by Hanna Jaacks I had found a recommendation for the first and last stitches of every row. She says that a "Schweizer Rand" would be absolutely preferable for brioche (Patentmuster) or lace or very fine wool. "Schweizer Rand" means you purl every first and last stitch of every row. Do you know about this? Since I've already started my brioche project months ago I will keep using that... A little bit confusing for me...
Well, that kind of depends on what you are using it. I am not familar with the term Schweizer Rand but there are so many regional terms that's no big surprise. Essentially it's a selvage of reverse garter stitch. I do feel that can be very nice if you want to seam things because then you can use the matress stitch and it's going to be near invisible. If youa re following a pattern then I'D definitely stick to this. THis selvage is just one of a million different methods and it really boils down to preferences.
hi I saw your other video on your main channel for brioche stitch and you suggested to use an odd number of stitches, but in here you casted on an even number of stitches. What's the difference between both?

Perfectly clear to this continental knitter. Thank you Norman.
Thank you very much, it's so much easier to do this way than the way I learn from another video few days ago
Thanks for the video! this is my third project and I can't believe I can even do this pattern!
Hello Norman thank you for the tutorial!
This is a lovely stitch. I thought it was more difficult to execute. Thank you for sharing, Norman. ❤
Norman makes it simple!

Thank you, much! I would like to put a project into this pattern!!
Thanks for this for continental kmitters❤❤❤❤❤.

yes that can be an option...however it can also be super stretchy very quickly and then it migh tno tbe the best option for hems and cuffs
@NimbleNeedles, how is this selvage stitch pattern called? It looks amazing. Thank you very much!
just a slip stitch selvage? not exactly sure what kind of name you expect?
Hi Norman how to use two color in this stich? Love your video's
hm...i guess i need to make a separate tutorial for that.
That would be great if you can do that, your video's help's me a lot in my projects. But I got stuck on the two color brioche stich and this stich is easy to do for me the way you explained in one color🎉 thank you so much for all your video's en time you put in it❤
Great tutorial Norman! I learned it as the “brk” or bark as they would sometimes say, lol. What stretchy bind off would you recommend? Thanks for another great tutorial!😊🤗
well, I guess grafting methods like the tubular/italian bind-off can look fun but it will depend a bit on the project really.
Interesting! Thanks for your input 😊
Great video! My issue with some advanced stitches is how to fix/tink.
working on it!
Looking forward😊
Is the brioche stitch different from the half brioche stitch?
yes :) nimble-needles.com/stitches/how-to-knit-the-half-brioche-stitch/
I love to knit socks❤

yes but when in doubt, you can always just click on the first link in the description. The written instructions always include these details.

@@nimbleneedlestwo Thank you very much for your comment! 🙂
hi I saw your other video on your main channel for brioche stitch and you suggested to use an odd number of stitches, but in here you casted on an even number of stitches. What's the difference between both?
The edge basically. I think I used a different edge stitch for the (very old) video on my main channel
Thank you for the clear explanation, sharp photo and continental knitting!
How did you know i was just wondering about this a few hours ago???
heh...i didn't but glad it came at the right time :)
I looks so easy until you have like 400 stiches and mess up one stich in the middle 😭
you can easily fix that tho!
I love brioche!
same here :)
